This year's start to Michigan began with 3 people! Dave, Eli and I drove up together Friday and stayed with Ted & Cindy (in their nice camper!) on Friday night. They had pizza, pecan pralines and a sweet grape salad waiting for us. A storm rolled in which caused the power to go out, so we slept well. We drove the rest of the way to the cabin Saturday, arriving somewhere between 4:30-5pm.
Calvin, Vanessa, Violet & Drew all stayed back in Iowa to go to their good friend Solana's wedding. Her wedding is Sunday May 9, and their plan is to party hard at the wedding, and drive through the night to come here. The last text I got was that they plan to arrive somewhere around 6am.
It was certainly comical for Dave, Eli and I to drive up in our big 9 seater van full of space. We grocery shopped and filled up the whole floor!
The start to today (Sunday) has been very relaxing. We had breakfast sandwiches, chipped beef on toast, tater tots, strawberries, blueberries and coffee. We watched Wellspring Community Church online at 10am, then we watched Bethany Bible Chapel online at 11:30 both of them with Ted and Cindy. We sipped coffee together and enjoyed the teaching of both places - both very different. Wellspring's speaker covered topics in Matthew about how important it is to do the things we learn in God's word. Obedience should be held at a higher priority than knowledge. Bethany's speaker covered lessons in Genesis 37-42 about the life of Joseph.
We are rolling slowly through this Sunday at a nice vacation pace. I gave Dave a haircut, we both showered and "got ready" for the day with no plans, munched on a little for lunch, and are chilling enjoying the overcast quiet day. A very strange change of pace - one that I need some time to adjust to.
